G Scott Clemmensen made a career-high 39 saves in his second postseason start as he went to overtime for the first time and lost 3-2. Clemmensen was selected by the Devils in the eighth round in 1997 and spent parts of seven seasons with the organization. He was thrown into the starting role Tuesday because Jose Theodore sat out with an undisclosed injury.

"I'm very happy with the way he played," coach Kevin Dineen said. "I can nit-pick a couple goals there, but I also saw some pretty solid saves there as well."

NHL Note - Florida Panthers Campbell, Brian

D Brian Campbell is one of three finalists for the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy. Campbell is trying to become only the third defenseman in history -- first since the 1950s -- to win the award. He is competing with Matt Moulson (New York Islanders) and Jordan Eberle (Edmonton) for the hardware. "He had a fabulous year," coach Kevin Dineen said. "It's nice to be recognized as one of the elites in the league, no matter the category. He was such a go-to guy for us. He plays the game with skill and character and a lot of heart. That adds up to someone very worthy of the Lady Byng."

G Roberto Luongo said he would waive his no-trade clause if the Canucks want to trade him, NHL.com reported Tuesday. The Canucks have not asked Luongo to waive the clause, and there is some question as to which team would be willing to take on his 12-year, $64 million contract that still has 10 years to run. But with the emergence of Cory Schneider, the Canucks have two No. 1 goaltenders.

"I don't want to be one of those guys (who is) going to stand in the way of anything," Luongo said, according to NHL.com. "I always want to put the team ahead of me first. I don't want to be one of those selfish guys."

G Martin Brodeur faced only 16 shots in Tuesday night's 3-2 overtime win over the Panthers but made a big save on Mikael Samuelsson late in regulation to keep the game going. He picked up his 102nd playoff win and ended a personal five-game losing streak in elimination games.

RW Ilya Kovalchuk, who picked up his fourth career playoff victory Tuesday night, continues to downplay any physical problems he might be playing through. He scored his third goal of the series Tuesday night.

RW Steve Bernier scored his second goal of the series, his second in the last three games, Tuesday night. He scored just one goal in the regular season. The fourth line has actually been more productive than the third.
